A very catching plot with a heartbreaking bittersweet ending. Not all of the story flowed smoothly for me, but the character study of William, and his growing into Spike is excellent and touching. Having smiled so much with other stories of yours, it was a surprise to find that you can cut deep and deliver such anguish as well.
Thanks so much - it was a change for me. I was only planning to write a short story, but it grew and grew.

Tart and grim at the end, and restrained, too. With enough genuine Buffy to make you wish you could just shake her around a bit and crack her glass wall of denial. Very nicely written.
I wanted Buffy to soften up, but since I decided to stay true (as possible) to the show, I had to keep still in a muddle. Thanks for reviewing.

you had me worried til the very end that he wouldnt have a happy ending. Loved the story!
Not exactly happy, but I wanted to tie it back into the show. Thanks so much for all your wonderful reviews.

Oh, what a sad, but inevitable, ending. I wish Spike had told her more about Emma, although I guess he did the parts that mattered. Terrific story. Thanks.
I don't think he can tell Buffy. A - hurts too much and B - he's afraid that he'll jinx what little he has with her and C - he loves Buffy more and in a more mature way (if you can say anything is mature about Spike). Thanks so much for feeding the writer with tasty reviews. Yum. :)

My heart is wrenching for Spike. Buffy is still blissfully ignorant of his many facets. What a wonderful chapter to tie this story up. Loved it!
Thanks J - I was a little concerned about the last chapter and whether it made sense with the rest of the story, but I think it turned out okay once I had Buffy bring that stake to bed with her. Thanks for all your many kind reviews.

Very nice look into Spike's past. Well done.
Thanks IT. Reviews are always appreciated.

What a beautiful, heart breaking story. If only she'd had faith in him a year earlier. Yeah, Buffy's filled with if onlies...
Thanks for reviewing JD - Buffy is a sad, sad girl.

Poor Spike. Always love's bitch. With Buffy's denial firmly in place this whole episode could fit very nicely into canon.
He's so pathetic. Too bad Harmony was such a moron, she would have probably treated him the way he deserved. I intended to keep it more or less in canon. It wiggled away from me in a couple of places, mostly when Cecily wagged herself around. Thanks for reviewing.

Bleak ending. Buffy will never let herself see the real Spike, a loss for both of them..
Too bleak for my tastes. I'm glad to be back with the relentlessly cheery Buffybot after this travel to the angst side. Thanks for reviewing.

my apologies for the multiple postings for my review - my computer is working in total "wrong" mode - been having lots and lots of troubles lately. Maybe one of the moderators can take out the extras -
Don't worry about it - this happens sometimes and the site is still acting very quirky on posting.

I just positively loved this story - It is a splendid Buffyverse William piece and makes a great history for what makes William/Spike.
Congratulations on a fine story - it is an honor for me to have my image as one of the influences - Thank You so very much for taking up my request for a tale to go with my Tin Bird Christmas Card -
Such a terrible sad William Story - from all his heart felt but naive longing for love and freedom with his fantastical singing scarlet lady to the horrors of Angelus with the final clawing away at his heart from Buffy - what a truly sad and tragic coming together of two characters. They make me think often of the tragic Anna Karenina - all three characters made such a hell for themselves through their love and passion.

Thanks NM. I can positively say that I would never have written this story or anything remotely like it without your inspiring banner. We should probably have banner inspiration challenge to go with the regular challenges. Maybe you and the other artists could start a forum or talk to Dia.
Clawing away - yes, that's exactly what she's doing. In the terms of this story, she's probably the worst of his three lovers. Emma cared about him, but loved Angel. Dru also cared about him and loved Daddy more. Buffy, probably doesn't love Angel that way anymore, but can't let herself care about him.

awesome story. and really in character. i do beleive that if she had ever let them talk about the important things, they would have been able to be together.
good stuff.
good stuff.
Thanks legen. Joss would never let them be together, he's evil. I wanted to keep it within the story lines, so sadly I couldn't get them together either. Thanks for reviewing.
